needing to forget

wish the memories
would go as well
things that simply
need to be forgotten
snow in April hot chocolate
in the basement
all those things remembered
forgetting the smoke catcher
and the cat in head lights
shadows dancing circles
and a cramping hand
racing to the end
of another page
for no particular reason
not going anywhere soon
or later as the night ticks away
with all the memories
fragments or words
still resonating in the mind
trying to understand
what it all meant
knowing mere forgetfulness
can help now blocking
the flashback happiness
slide show featured in the theaters
in the mind…
